have a windows vista. Everex model and it's a mess!

by cathydinmo Apr 11, 2012 5:21PM PDT

I started having trouble with IE so I switched to Firefox.by switching I mean downloading it on. Then Firefox started acting up , so guess what I'm using Chrome, again just downloaded it. I think I may have gotten FF off now. But IE will not budge, in the meantime I have the worlds slowest computer, starting up , playing games (none downloaded), and now nothing will open in my searchbars, well the page opens but when you click on it , it just sits there. I'm Not very well with comps as you may tell so I need walked thru this to get some of these things off my comp! PLEASE!

I tried to copy my processes but it wont do it,
I have 65 processes open, but now the CPU usage just went from 14 to 100.
I have 8 things open at the bottom on the left.
and 4 on the right.

I don't use windows Live mail or any of that but cannot get it off my comp, or from starting up!

ANY HELP would be so appreciated!!

Cathy

Choices?

1. Restore the machine to it's original factory state.

2. Use scans like Grif notes at http://forums.cnet.com/7726-6132_102-5098912.html?tag=posts;msg5099421 to see if it's malware.

3. Learn more about ADDONS to IE and uninstall all of them.
